CSB3: Florida, YOHB?

i mean considering so much of our fruit comes directly from mexico, its nice to just be at the source.

we bought a BAG of like 10 perfect ripe avocados for $1 USD off some 12yo yesterday.
avocados are usually like $2 each
If you want to retire at 40 years old this might be the place. lmao

Sounds like you should start a black market Avocado trade. Smuggle up a bunch buying them a $1/dozen, and sell them at $1/each.

It's a very real strategy actually. Not just in Mexico either, there's a bunch of Central/South American countries that people retire to for exactly that reason.

Personally, I would prefer Portugal as a retirement destination, but not sure I can get my wife on board.

Get a nice farm somewhere in Alentejo....grow my own olives, make my own wine. Have a couple lemon trees in the backyard.

You're singing my tune.

Sorry to hear about your sister @riceburner, that's indeed a rough time. Hopefully you're able to focus on the positive ways she has touched the lives of others.

Think I just made some dudes day in a passat gt. He was about a car ahead of me on the right. When he saw me he rolled his window down and slowed down to get next to me. It's a little nicer today so I already had all my windows rolled down and the sunroof open. Then I hear him yell, HIT IT! Ok sir, so I down shifted into 3rd and pulled out in front of him. I had a car right in front of me, but the passat dude was leaving me enough room to get in front of him. I think he wanted to play a little, but I don't really do that and I started driving into some rain and my turn was coming up ahead so I had other things to focus on.

I think I'd prefer a farm down in Peru. But when I feel so homesick I think I'm goin' insane, I'll travel back to Dallas in a low-flying plane

my wife wants to move down here.

idk, its definitely a few steps down in most regards. its just nice that when we are here the cost of living is so cheap. I dont think i could manage living here/in mexico lol. i need my gringos, and architects, and engineers, and police officers, and FDSA, and OSHA....

Good day boys. Sun is shining - time to get burnt and install some charge pipes.

Sorry to hear this. Is this the sister I met a few years ago with you guys at brauerhaus?

omg i remember that haha! No, that is one of her other sisters but great memory dude!

The one we came with works at VW Puebla, as a trainer of sorts.
The sister who is passing aways husband also works at VW in tech testing with the German engineers. Prety cool gig from the sounds of it.

Would I move to Puebla to work for VW? Iono....

thanks, since i'm obviously the person least affected by this, my goal has been to enforce positive thinking in everyone with my limited espanol.
